Mudfest 2025

Get stuck in with mud slinging, mud kitchen and mud art!

NEW this year we bring you Mudfest, with hands-on activities for all ages and abilities. Everyone can connect with nature and discover the magical powers of mud for wildlife and play. After all, it’s the stuff wetlands (and great family adventures) are made of.
